Learning Outcomes

1. Students should learn the fundamental distinctions and trade-offs between analog and digital signal processing paradigms.

2. Students should become proficient at several key scalable analog and digital filter design methodologies.

3. Students should have a understanding of the effect of practical limitations (such as quantisation errors, numerical roundoff, memory limitation, processor speed limitations) on digital filter design

4. Students should be able to design analog filters.

5. Students should be able to design, implement and test digital filters.
